Add as a preferred source on Google WWE has considerably scaled back Roman Reigns’ RAW schedule just weeks after he promised a more consistent run.
According to Fightful, WWE pulled the reigning World Heavyweight Champion from promotional material for the June 1 RAW in Turin, the June 8 show in Paris, the June 15 taping in Baltimore, and the June 22 event in London. He remains advertised for every RAW in May, however.
The change stands out because right after beating CM Punk in the main event of WrestleMania 42 Night Two, Reigns pushed back on criticism of his light schedule and said fans would see him all summer.
WWE has not explained the removal so far. Three of the four pulled dates are international, which could point to simple logistics, but the Baltimore scratch rules out travel as the only factor.
Before that, Reigns still has a major date locked in. WWE has already confirmed he will defend the World Heavyweight Championship against Jacob Fatu at Backlash on May 9 in Tampa.
It remains unclear whether the ad removals signal a temporary shuffle or if Reigns’ schedule will stay more selective than his recent promise suggested.
